Sony announces new UNCHARTED theme park in Barcelona
By Movieguide® Contributor
Sony plans to capitalize on the success of UNCHARTED with new roller coasters in PortAventura World of Barcelona, based on the film and the video game.
According Variety, the ride will “reveal dark and uncharted territories during an exhilarating expedition” and offer “a journey of unexpected events in a fully immersive experience in search of the great treasure”.
UNCHARTED, which hit theaters in 2021, has been a huge hit with moviegoers. Movieguide® previously reported:
UNCHARTED led the weekend box office, proving that people are still showing up in theaters, even amid COVID-19 concerns.
“This speaks to the health of the market and should not be overlooked. The market can handle more than one outperformer,” said Erik Lomis, head of United Artists Releasing, said.
UNCHARTED, starring Tom Holland, grossed $51 million in four days.
This box office bounty is due to creative marketing strategies implemented by Sony and UAR, Deadline reported.
For example, Sony spent nearly $20 million on TV spots and partnered with Hyundai for an ad featuring Holland.
In addition to heavy marketing, moviegoers also flocked to UNCHARTED for its moral messages and Christian and patriotic elements.
UNCHARTED presents a strong Christian worldview and highlights the main character’s respect for human life and his pro-life attitude.
Part of the Movieguide® review bed:
UNCHARTED tells an exciting and great story. This great adventure will delight cinephiles looking for pleasure in the cinema. Additionally, UNCHARTED has a Christian worldview. For example, Nate has a great respect for human life, and his pro-life attitude eventually rubs off on Sully, giving the film a redeeming premise. Additionally, UNCHARTED has Christian references and symbolism, including a positive statement of Christian faith in one scene. However, Nate and Sully must steal a golden artifact from a ruthless Spaniard at an auction house to find the gold, and the film contains excessive foul language. MOVIEGUIDE® recommends great caution.
